The story, set in the fictional Rhode Island town of Eastwick, is based around the magical abilities and personal growth of the three female protagonists (the Witches Alexandra Spofford, Jane Smart, and Sukie Rougemont). Initially their power is minor, but expands to involve the summoning of a devil-like character Darryl Van Horne.

The women come to realise that Darryl is corrupting them and the town, and resolve to exile him from their lives.
